Abstract
The need to establish new and revised drinking water regulations led the US Environmental Protection Agency to conduct the National Inorganics and Radionuclides Survey to obtain information on the occurrence of various contaminants in drinking water from groundwater sources in the United States. In this article, the results that relate to radionuclides are discussed and compared with data from other studies. A description of the acquisition, analysis, and processing of the data is included.Keywords
